Lutui ready to step up for Titans

Veteran Deuce Lutui will start at right guard on Sunday in place on an injured Leroy Harris.

Lutui hasn’t played in a game this season for the Titans, who signed him after Week 1. He played 93 games, with 72 starts, with the Cardinals from 2006-11.

“I am pretty anxious,’’ Lutui said. “I know when Leroy went down, it is a big loss to the offensive line, but I’ve been studying and waiting for my chance. … I assured (coaches) I will do my best to not miss a beat. I will be ready for this Sunday. I’ve played in a lot of games and the timing is perfect for me to step up for the team.”

Coach Mike Munchak said Harris, who suffered a knee injury against the Colts last week, would continue to be evaluated.
